HOW THEY MET
David and Bonnie met in an online Phoenix chatroom. They talked for a couple of weeks before meeting. After dating off and on for a few years, the couple has now been together for eleven years, and have two children together. David proposed to Bonnie on Mother’s Day 2008.

THE COLOR SCHEME
The colors for David and Bonnie’s wedding were purple and silver as an accent color. The bridesmaids wore lilac, the flower girl, also the bride’s daughter, wore a light pink that matched the pink that was in Bonnie’s dress. The tables and chairs were dressed with white linen and alternating silver and purple table runners and sashes tied around the chairs.The centerpieces were four votive candles surrounding one large candle. The head table was decorated with white linen and a silver runner. The ceremony candle and bride’s bouquet were placed on the table, as well.

WORKING WITH THE VENUE
“Our experience working with Beth Parnell was fantastic!”, say David and Bonnie. “Beth was very personable, easy to get along with, and focused on letting us plan our wedding the way we wanted it. She listened to us and then made helpful suggestions based on our input.” Bonnie also gave high marks to the staff at Phoenix Marriott Mesa, saying “They did a fantastic job putting our ceremony and reception together. I couldn’t imagine planning our wedding with anyone else!”
